new york herald, which was at that time in 1877 when it was published it was the biggest newspaper in america. and they've called it a washington love letter. and nobody could believe that it was real at first. and then people who know a little bit about washington's life and stuff, there were some very atchison diaries published. they discovered he had written it better for month after he had become engaged to moffit custis, who was in for the the richest widow in virginia. and this caused consternation in 1877. they couldn't believe that george washington could possibly have thought for another woman. and so, it was like a suspense story as a probe to find out what happened to this letter. and it turned out that the latter never saw the light of day. it was going to be auctioned off of the mystery man body and this appeared for 60 years. and they founded by sheer accident in the files of a harvard library. so when i saw all this, i said to myself, this is a book i was born to write. i've got to write this book. i've got to explain this and then i begin to realize there would be other things

there were some distractions daking place around america as we speak. and a lot of america has been transfixed by what has happened this year. and i can go back and recap some of the events but we pretty well know what they are. $700 billion in tarp spending, we watched three large investment banks be nationalized by the federal government, we watched a.i.g. be nationalized, taken over by the federal government. we watched fannie mae and freddie mac be taken over by the federal government and then by an executive order right before christmas have them open up the debt ceiling on fannie and freddie where every american is a guarantee-or of the debt which can be as many as $-- 5.5 trillion. we watched negotiations take place behind the scenes which told the bankruptcy court how to push our automakers through there and both of them nationalized, taken over by the federal government. then we watched the $787 billion economic stimulus plan be passed in an urgency that hasn't produced a product and a result except the debt that's going to drag down this econo

south america, central mark. et cetera. i see no indication -- and the numbers don't show any indication -- that the u.s. is willing to spend money and time and effort to reduce its consumption, its demand for drugs. i see no reason to believe the u.s. will do so in the future any more than it has done so at any time in the past since the 1960 1960's, when drugs became part of a certain mainstream of american life. there are people who think this is a terrible situation, there are people who think it is ok like myself. there are people who think it is a great situation. well, that is their opinion. what i think is increasingly difficult to argue is that there is any consensus or willingness in american society to declare a war on drug demand or reduction or drug consumption in the united states through testing, through invasion of privacy, through clampdowns on trade, on everything. is the u.s. willing to send the army into the projects in chicago, into the projects and tenements in new york, in los angeles, into east los a
